WORD OF ADMONITION:
Those who are hopelessly entrenched in the unbiblical local institutional church system always measure themselves by how many people show up; how many members they have; how nice their building is; how many activities are offered; and of course, how much money they take in.
The NT church we read about in the scripture measured themselves by a much more different and
nobler standard.

THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“A Bitter Spirit”
1) Said to shame, (usually in a very public venue) someone who dared to speak the Truth; 2) A charge given to someone in order negate any credibility.
“The Olson’s possess a ‘bitter spirit’ and should be avoided by the members
of this church.”
Once your mind, heart, and soul has been enlarged with real, Biblical Truth, it can never return to its original size.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that
sent me.

"The Pastoral Office"
To disrespect a God-called pastor is to disrespect God’s organization!
I found this passage very interesting in the Message Bible. It certainly gets right down to the crux of the matter. Read it and then compare it in your KJV or other translation.
Isaiah 1:12-17:
"When you come before me, who ever gave you the idea of acting like this, Running here and there, doing this and that; all this sheer commotion in the place provided for worship?
Quit your worship charades. I can't stand your trivial religious games: Monthly conferences, weekly Sabbaths, special meetings. Meetings, meetings, meetings; I can't stand one more!
Meetings for this, meetings for that. I hate them! You've worn me out! I'm sick of your religion, religion, religion, while you go right on sinning. When you put on your next prayer-performance, I'll be looking the other way. No matter how long or loud or often you pray, I'll not be listening. And do you know why? Because you've been tearing people to pieces, and your hands are bloody.
GO HOME and wash up. Clean up your act. Sweep your lives clean of your evil-doings so I don't have to look at them any longer. Say no to wrong. Learn to do good. Work for justice. Help the down-and-out. Stand up for the homeless. Go to bat for the defenseless."
Can you even begin to imagine Jesus and His disciples selling their sermons or collecting a
weekly paycheck?
